Algebra I Specific Student Outcomes The National Council for Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) clearly outlines five Process Standards for successful mathematics education. The incorporation of the iPad and selected application software into regular instruction will assist Algebra I teachers in addressing the following standards: Problem Solving:
Solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts
Apply and adapt a variety of appropriate strategies to solve problems
Monitor and reflect on the process of mathematical problem solving
Reasoning and Proof:
Make and investigate mathematical conjectures
Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs
Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof
Communication:
Make and investigate mathematical conjectures
Develop and evaluate mathematical arguments and proofs
Select and use various types of reasoning and methods of proof
Connections:
Recognize and use connections among mathematical ideas
Understand how mathematical ideas interconnect and build on one another to produce a coherent whole
Recognize and apply mathematics in contexts outside of mathematics
Representation:
Create and use representations to organize, record, and communicate mathematical ideas
Select, apply, and translate among mathematical representations to solve problems
Use representations to model and interpret physical, social, and mathematical phenomena

Through the supplemental technology provided by the iPad integration into the Algebra I classroom, students will:
make real-world connections with content presented in class
analyze multiple-representations of data such as tables, graphs, function rules, and algebraic representations
present project-based investigations to classmates in an innovative manner
share ideas and collaborate with classmates to analyze and predict
gain exposure to simulations and graphics software that allow a deeper understanding of mathematical content
actively engage in mathematics instruction
organize ideas into visual representations such as charts and diagrams
establish ownership in the understanding of Algebra and increase retention of content presented
effectively review for assessments through application software
